ive always had Gibsons and Epiphones, so any wider neck is going to be an adjustment. In general I dont like the Ibanez body shapes and colors as much (though that one looks way nicer in person - very deep finish) but I think if I'm going to try getting my scales faster I might as well do it on the ...

and I think Rango's problem too is that they have only one auditorium. Disney wants as many showings per day as possible, so for every auditorium a theater commits they want exclusivity in it for a certain amount of time, even the "normal" ones. Thats why so many small independent theaters are reall...

Back to the Future isn't really competing for screens right now. If someone wants to go to Universal or whoever is charge of distributing/licensing it to theaters they will probably take anything they can get. a company like Disney wants to get their marque films in all the "high end" auditoriums (I...

Rangos is stuck because of the rules that (mostly Disney) is forcing on theaters. April/May is the main school field trip season. They definitely could and want to show Infinity War, but Disney won't let them show any other movies in that auditorium for something like 6 weeks. They can't show a scie...

I didnt see any of the nominees for animated short this year. I know Glenn Keane is kind of a modern animation legend, old enough to be around at the tail of Disney's 9 Old Men's careers, but young enough that he was an important part of the 90s Renaissance. He was the lead animator on Ariel and als...

The Primantis on Steubenville Pike has some of the best pizza I know of in the city.

I'm exactly the same. I won't order anything if a Yeungling bottle is $5+, I'll just get water. Their drafts all seem to be at least $1.50-$2 higher than anywhere else.I generally don't go to Burgatory because their drink prices are outrageous.

- From your description it seems that PBs strive not to force their clients to close shorts, so the short-sale deals have an indefinite maturity. (A) Are there deals that explicitly state maturity - e.g. the client borrows the stocks for precisely X months? Right. From a purely business perspective...

What do I think of it? My gut says two things. One is that people have gotten a little overzealous and excited over the past month, pushing stocks maybe a bit too high. The sell off started last week when asset managers, with prospectus limits on equity vs fixed income concentration, had to begin re...

I'd also like to add that I watched the first two season of the TV show Billions, and Season 1 Episode 4 was about lending's role and effect on hedge funds (sort of). That's one with the Metallica concert. The hedge fund in the show has a short position in a stock. To short it they would have had to...

high marks from us on the Aerogarden system. I got my wife one for Christmas and we already have a plentiful supply of dill, thyme, and basil. The mint is growing more slowly, and the parsley didnt grow at all.
We just this past week added lavender and rosemary, and already have a lavender sprout.
